This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, ENENCHE AKOGWU who was born in Nigeria on 30 March 1980 and passed away on 20 Januariy2012 at the age of 31. We will remember him forever.

If he had a choice he would have decided to stay longer, if only to see the impact of some of the stories he had written. But as fate would have it, he would no longer live in the country he once called home and among the people he once called family.
